Being a parent isn't that complicated, but it isn't easy either. It is a challenge that tests us every day. Each of us does what we think is best for our child and we hope we are right.

Kindness is one of the most important “achievements”. Yes, every parent dreams that their child will be incredibly smart, gifted with many talents, well-mannered, kind, polite, successful. But what is most valuable in the formation and development of the personality, and especially in young children, is to understand that being good is the number one value. That it is not so much the purchases, the objects, the financial means that matter, as they can be very temporary and transitory, but kindness in thoughts and actions is the value worth preserving in every child.
There is love for everyone. One of the most important and meaningful lessons we can teach children is that love is all around us and for everyone. It is especially important if there is more than one child in your family and jealousy between children is inevitable. It is important to make sure that the children do not feel a difference in attitude and feel your love, know that it is for all of them.
The body is beautiful and so is everything about it. Conversations related to our body, to he alth, to the beauty of our being, are extremely important and valuable, don't miss them in communicating with your child.
